I'm thinking the next straight razor I buy might be a Filarmonica 13 with the JOSE MONSERRAT POU signature.
I've heard the praises sung, and the hush tones under which they're discussed.
Can you great folks be nice enough to tell me why this is a must-have SR (if you're of that inclination)?
Hopefully it's something that can be described. Is it any easier to hone? Does it provide a more forgiving shave? Is Spanish Steel an undiscovered treasure?
I only know I like the looks of the implement. If the shaving characteristics are as earth shattering as the chatter, please write a brief word in this thread explaining what makes them superior.
I appreciate you all piling on all your collective knowledge. I also suppose they're not made any more--dictating the purchase of a used specimen.
Thanks, all!
